Only Three More Chemos to Go!!

Tuesday was #9 chemo--getting to be routine.  Yesterday I had the chemo pump removed , as usual, two days after the treatment, has a brain MRI, and my oncology rehabilitation--a busy, busy day. No time for anything but naps and eating in between.I don't have the results from the MRI yet--will post as soon as I hear.

Megan, our oldest daughter,  is flying in tonight for a week-long visit!! WE are all excited about this!

Home without any excitement

Hello, faithful readers,  Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I am still the same, a little wobbly and vomiting this week from accumulated chemo. Now I am taking another anti-nausea pill and it seems to be helping.

Hair: everytime I comb my hair, I lose a half dozen hairs. My surgeon told me about the thinning hair. I hope I have some left when chemo is over!

Chemo # 9 next Tuesday.

Chemo # 8

Chemo #8 was yesterday.  I count each one as a milestone, and now have only four to go. We always meet with my oncologist on chemo days, and yesterday he said to have another PET scan right before my 10th chemo. That will be about August 8. Of course, looking at the PET scans is exciting, especially to see shrinking tumors. It helps to see the effects of the chemo and  everything else I've been going through. I am weak and wobbly from yesterday's chemo.

I have been slowly losing weight and the oncologist wants me to actually try to gain weight which is difficult as my taste buds are not working as normal because of the chemo and therefore my appetite is less than normal. I have had to start thinking about buying new clothes as most of my clothes are now too large.
